From Batch 16 release of Benriach single casks in 2019. Aged in a quality Sauternes Barrique. Bought at a tasting by Casa de Vinos of Batch 16 and this stood out as a must have malt especially with a drop of water - Victoria sponge cake and peaches with a crisp interesting bitter and sweet finish of white wine and honey and butter on toast.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
